My main machine at home has been upgraded from Fedora 26 to 27 since the day the 27 was released. Everything has been working great, except the ZFS file system. I’m a ZFS-believer and I store my important files on ZFS-based storage. For a while there was no repository for Fedora 27 provided by zfsonlinux, until 6 days ago. I have been using packages provided for Fedora 26 as work around solution....
I love ZFS, but there is something that has annoyed me for quite sometimes – the zpool doesn’t get automatically mounted on boot. To work around this, I had to login as root and run: to import tank pool before I login with my normal user account. Well, I finally found a solution. This is what’s written on zfsonlinux/zfs WIFI about Fedora specifically: Systemd Update: When upgrading to the zfs-0.6.5.8 release it’s recommended that users manually reset the zfs systemd presets....

There could be a different way to fix it, though. Let’s check the version of the kernel: Check if spl, zfs are already installed: Manually install spl, dkms: Load zfs module: Voilla, I got ZFS working again....
Today I successfully upgraded my FreeBSD home nas server from 10.3 to 11.0. This is the final release of version 11.0, though the official announcement is expected to be made on September 28. After the system upgrade, I need to also upgrade the 2 zpools (tank and zroot) so they can have new features. Upgrading tank was easy, all I needed to do was running this command: # zpool upgrade tank This system supports ZFS pool feature flags....
I use ZFS as a storage driver for docker engine running on my machine. Today after my machine rebooted from a crash, yes Linux system crashes too, I notice that all my docker images and containers disappeared. First thing came to my mind was “did I accidentally destroy docker zfs data set last night?” It’s still there. At that point I suspected that Docker might no longer use ZFS as its data storage....
